Karunanidhi’s attempt to revamp the party position by picking up the hot Sri Lanka issue and withdrawing his party support to UPA government, unfortunately back fires at him. It could not solve the purpose instead it once again triggered the fight between his two sons. Karunanidhi’s elder son Alagiri, who revolts against his father absconds from the crucial party meeting held recently. The absence of Alagiri and his followers from the crucial party meeting has become the main issue to media than its purpose.
Hence, DMK is forced to give a clarification on his absence instead of the minutes of the meeting. DMK told the media that Alagiri has informed the party Chief Karunanidhi about his absence well in advance and rubbishes the media reports about Alagiri’s plans of splitting the party. However, Alagiri has stated that he is not alone but there are several others too, who skips the party meeting. He is upset for being ignored by his father Karunanidhi, while taking crucial decisions like withdrawing party support to UPA government. Hence, Karunanidhi’s efforts to give a kick start to his party chokes with the fight between his two sons.
It was decided in the meeting that DMK will stick to its stand taken against UPA government and will demand it to boycott the upcoming Commonwealth meetings to be held in Sri Lanka in protest against massacre of Tamil people by Sri Lankan army.
